A photograph inside a pillared hall with striped red floor covering and tall decorated pillars. In the foreground stands a long-haired man in a rust-red shawl over his bare chest, hands folded, facing a seated deity murti draped in a gold and purple silk cloth and garlanded with pink flowers and green and white garlands. Several orange-clad attendants stand behind him, one holding a tray of flowers. Nearby on a golden cloth are a silver vessel and a brass lamp. On the right, white-clad devotees stand with palms joined. A cameraman films the scene. The man has long, swept-back hair and a distinctive shawl, matching a person cues, though the appearance is uncertain given the distance. The scene reads as a puja offering.

A long-haired figure in orange robes stands with their back to the camera in a temple hall with a red-and-orange carpet. Before them is an ornate silver-and-gold throne with a red velvet seat, decorated with red and white flower garlands. To the left, a line of children in orange robes and a white-clad adult stand with palms pressed together in anjali, facing the throne. Oil lamps and ornamental pillars are visible in the background.

A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes on an ornate silver-and-gold throne with a red cushion, a microphone on a stand beside him. He raises one arm holding green leaves over his head, with a red and white flower garland draped above. Beside him stands a second man in orange, bare-shouldered, with white sacred markings on his arm and chest, a crown-like turban in orange, a silver necklace and rudraksha-style beads, holding a white cloth. Behind them are a brass oil lamp, red and orange flower garlands on the canopy, and a trident-shaped finial. The seated man has long swept-back hair, a crown or turban is not visible on him, and his saffron robes and ornate throne fit a Swamiji (probable) candidate; the throne and garlands indicate a ceremonial puja or abhishekam setting.
